All the Young Dudes ( Sirius' Perspective )

'Til the End

I just want to see you

When you’re all alone

I just want to catch you if I can

I just want to be there

When the morning light explodes

On your face it radiates

I can’t escape

I love you ‘til the end

 

I just want to tell you nothing

You don’t want to hear

All I want is for you to say

Why don’t you just take me

Where I’ve never been before

I know you want to hear me catch my breath

I love you ‘til the end

 

I just want to be there

When we’re caught in the rain

I just want to see you laugh not cry

I just want to feel you

When the night puts on its cloak

I’m lost for words – don’t tell me

All I can say

I love you ‘til the end

“You should’ve let me come with you,” Sirius muttered, mopping the blood from Remus’s arm.

“It’s—ah, careful!” Remus hissed, wincing as Sirius’s knuckles brushed across his bruised ribs—broken, no doubt, beneath the deep purple mark bleeding across the skin. “It’s not up to me.”

“What’s Dumbledore going to do, drag me out of the forest?”

“Don’t, Sirius, please.”

“You used to let me come with you—” 

“Before the Ministry knew you were in London!”

“But we wouldn’t be in London, would we?”

“I can’t do this right now,” Remus slumped back onto the pillows, scrubbing a hand across his face. “Please, can we just…not? Right now?”

Sirius scowled, reaching for the bandages to begin wrapping Moony’s arm.

“You splinched yourself, Remus.”
